Recently honored as Direct Support Professional of the Year for his work with disabled adults, John C. Riley, 42, of 1147 White Mountain Highway No. 3, Milton, is charged with a felony count of kidnapping, a felony alleging aggravated felonious sexual assault, and a misdemeanor count of indecent exposure and lewdness.

Police say Riley, a caregiver for Living Innovations, was giving the alleged victim a ride home from a Halloween dance on Nov. 2, 2012, when he pulled into the Home Depot parking lot and sexually assaulted the man while he objected.

Riley appeared in the Portsmouth Circuit Court Monday morning when he waived his right to a probable cause hearing with attorney Soldati at his side. His cash bail was continued per an agreement with police prosecutors and Judge Sawako Gardner amended Riley’s bail conditions to include two additional people he is barred from contacting.

Riley is also barred from having contact with anyone under the age of 18, unless it’s a family member, in which case it’s to be supervised contact. He’s also barred from any contact with developmentally disabled people and from returning to Living Innovations, One Sky Community Services and Community Services of Strafford.

During Riley’s arraignment earlier this month, police prosecutor David Colby said Riley’s assault on the man was “not a random act” and that he’d “groomed him for a period of time.” Colby said there may be other victims and he described Riley as a danger to the community.

The prosecutor also said Riley confessed to sexually assaulting the local man.
